10 Difference Points between SPC flooring and Engineered wood flooring

As the current mainstream decorative materials，many people are compare SPC flooring with engineered wood flooring.Next, let’s briefly introduce the difference between SPC flooring and engineered wood flooring.

Engineered wood flooring

Raw materials: wood, glue and other adhesives and edge sealing agents. The surface has protective layers such as paint and wax, so it contains toxic gases such as formaldehyde, which is not as green and healthy as SPC flooring.

Price: the price is expensive, and some are even thousands CNY per square meter.

Environmental protection: the damage to the forest is very big, which is not conducive to the protection of the ecological environment.

Waterproof: afraid of water, easy to damp and deform. The size of the flooring will change greatly with the change of temperature.

Installation: engineered wood flooring with poor stability , and the keel must be laid during installation, cost is very expensive.

Sound insulation: the sound insulation effect is not good.

SPC flooring

Raw materials: PVC material, which has been widely used in people's daily life, such as tableware, medical infusion tube bags, etc., and the environmental protection level reaches E0. Natural stone powder, tested by the national authoritative department, does not contain any radioactive elements. It is a new type of green and environment-friendly ground decoration material.

Price: cheap and good quality.

High environmental protection, no pollution, zero formaldehyde, recyclable: the product does not contain benzene and formaldehyde. This is of great significance for protecting human earth resources and ecological environment.

Waterproof and moisture-proof: the main component is PVC resin, which has no affinity with water and will not be damaged and deformed after being exposed to water; At the same time, mildew will not occur due to high humidity.

Simple installation and convenient construction: when installing, just align the click lock slot to form a precise bite, which greatly reduces the labor cost and time.

The overall effect of the paved ground is uniform in color, beautiful and atmospheric. no glue, no cement.

Thermal conductivity: good thermal conductivity, uniform heat dissipation, small thermal expansion coefficient and relatively stable.

In Europe, America, Southeast Asia and other countries and regions, SPC flooring is the preferred product of flooring heating and heat conduction flooring, which is very suitable for family pavement.

Sound insulation: it has the characteristics of sound absorption and noise reduction. The interior paved with SPC flooring will be more spiritual and relaxed than the floor tiles, and it can slow down the pressure for urban people with increasing pressure. It plays a very good role in noise reduction of the upper and lower floors of high-rise buildings.

Maintenance: no deformation, no expansion, no special cleaning and care, saving later maintenance and maintenance costs.

Summary and comparison:

一、Advantages of engineered wood flooring:

1.Wear resistance: about 10 ~ 30 times higher than that of ordinary painted floor.

2.Aesthetics: various wood grain, pattern and color can be simulated by computer.

3.Stability: it completely breaks up the structure of the original wood, destroys the characteristics of anisotropy, wet expansion and dry shrinkage, and has extremely stable size. It is especially suitable for rooms with floor heating system.

In addition, there are anti impact, anti-static, pollution resistance, light resistance, cigarette burning resistance, convenient installation, simple maintenance and so on.

Disadvantages of engineered wood flooring:

Can not be repaired after damage, and the foot feel is poor. In particular, it should be pointed out that in the past, some dealers called laminate flooring a "waterproof floor", which is only for the surface. In fact, the only thing to avoid in the use of laminate flooring is blisters. At present, the supplier is responsible for laying solid wood composite floor and reinforced composite floor.

2.Advantages of SPC flooring:

1.Moisture proof, waterproof, anti-skid, insect proof and fireproof, with a service life of up to 30 years.

2.Aesthetics: the texture of SPC flooring products are lifelike and beautiful, and it seems to have a strong sense of high technology.

3.Environmental protection: from the perspective of environmental protection, the natural marble powder used in the stone plastic floor forms a solid base with high density and high fiber mesh structure, and the surface is covered with super wear-resistant polymer PVC wear-resistant layer, which is processed through hundreds of processes. The main raw material is natural stone powder, which does not contain any radioactivity after being tested by the authoritative department. It is a green and environment-friendly material, and the harmful components such as formaldehyde are almost zero.

4.Easy to install and cut at will.

Disadvantages of SPC flooring:

Comfort: the floor is finally to be implemented in the process of actual use. Comparing the stone plastic floor with the composite floor, the conclusion is that the stone plastic floor is relatively hard and cold, and the comfort is relatively poor. The composite floor has certain elasticity, good foot feeling, and easy to lay and maintain.

At present, wood flooring occupies most of the home decoration market. The main markets of SPC lock floor are offices, hotels, restaurants and other places. With the increasing application scenarios of SPC lock floor, it will also occupy a place in the home decoration market in the near future.
